What We Do
Caring professionals pay an emotional price for doing the work that we do. If your staff live traumatic events or are exposed to trauma from clients, the public, patients or families. hear difficult stories daily and are frequently exposed to traumatic details from patients and their families. The level of compassion fatigue staff experiences can ebb and flow from one day to the next. Even very healthy staff with optimal life/work balance and self-care strategies can experience compassion fatigue.
We work together with your organization to improve your staff's understanding of compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, burn out and moral distress. When your employees recognize signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue, and understand specific tools to include in a self-care plan, your organization can improve satisfaction and reduce turnover.
